Oaky, really pulling out the stops now got to get some things kinda finalized.
Please let me know you thoughts on weather you think these are good deals none are booked yet.

Flight

From: - Heathrow, London
To: - Tampa, Florida
Stops: - 1 stop at JFK

[u]Airline:[/] - Virgin Atlantic
Price:612.17 per person

We have flown with Virgin before and was happy with it so chose this one.
I thought the price wasn't that bad but please let me know you thoughts - We don't mind about the stop over or anything so thats fine by us

GREYHOUND
1201 - 1600 miles is $84.00 each one way This is their 'go anywhere fares' We would use this from Florida to Massachusetts - Seems a hell of a lot cheaper than amtrack.
Please tell me your thoughts on greyhounds as Not too sure on this.
Also for greyhounds once you are on the bus apart from the rest stops they have are you able to get off at a stop and stary for a day or so and catch the next greyhound or do they not stop in places you are likly to be able to want to stay? - Just curious about the whole thing

And from NY to Buffalo (niagra falls) is $45 one way or $90 return on greyhound

the return is from Boston intl airport direct back to heathrow london

We are also now thinking of renting a car - what do you think to this?

Ive been reading alot of poor reviews on grey hound esp on long journeys
